Biomaterials-based Strategies for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration - 2

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 4:45pm to 6:15pm
Room: Virtual

About

Large tissue defects are still challenging to be effectively repaired by using current methods. Instead of relying on a large number of exogenous cells and/or proteins-based tissue engineering approaches, the strategies that using biomaterials to promote tissue regeneration by activating and harnessing endogenous reparative cells and signaling pathways are more promising and translational. Interesting endogenous signaling pathways that contribute to tissue regeneration include but not limited to angiogenesis, inflammation, stem cell recruitment, and differentiation, etc. This session will focus on introducing the emerging concepts and strategies in the development of innovative biomaterials/drug/gene delivery/stem cell techniques for challenged tissue regeneration, e.g., cartilage, bone, teeth, skin, muscle, etc. Long term goal for this session is to develop new biomaterials-based regenerative treatments by using the body's innate ability through promoting the collaborations from the multidisciplinary filed.
